SHS 25.4x25.4x2.54 CISC · Weight & Dimensions

CISC, cold-formed sections · Square Hollow Section

Square Hollow Sections (SHS) are tubular profiles with equal sides, ideal for columns and compression members due to their uniform buckling resistance in all directions.

Also known as: PTR 25.4x25.4 cal 13 (México) · Caño estructural 25.4x25.4 (Argentina)

The SHS 25.4x25.4x2.54 steel profile weighs 1.7 kg/m (1.14 lb/ft), has a depth of 25.4 mm (1.00 in), flange width 25.4 mm (1.00 in). Cross-sectional area: 215.643 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1.801 cm⁴, Iy = 1.801 cm⁴.
